rainfall in summer but i want to go there in winter. because i love snow falling and want to see

Do you think mobile phones have helped people live better lives?
It depends on how people use mobile phones. if they use it for fruitful purpose then yes we can
say that mobile phones help people to live better lives. Like nowadays with the help of mobile
we can inquire about our bank balance inquiry, fund transfer. So there is no need to go to a
bank for that.
with the applike watsap, imo we can call anywhere in the world without paying any charges. We
can share useful information to a group of people, that we also save our time and money.
Television
Normally I do not have too much time during weekdays. Therefore, i saw TV for thirty minutes
to one hour. However, on weekends I spend more time to watch TV. I follow TV serials play on
weekends or watch movies and sometime listen talk shows.
Yes, children in Pakistan watch too much Television that is not good for children. Parents allow
their children to watch TV to keep them busy. When I was a kid, our parents were not allow to
watch too TV. They fixed our one hour for TV and we were not allow to watch more. They kept
us engage in other outdoor sport activities rather than watching TV.
Yes to some extend it is useful, if we use it only for educational purpose. To show informative
programs on it otherwise it is harmful for kids.
They effect on the mental health of children and on the eye side. Children already watch TV in
their homes, so it is better to engage students in some educational activities rather than using
TV for educational purpose. Those activities not only good for children mental health but also
for their physical health.
The weather
I like cold and pleasant weather or I can say that I like weather of winter and spring season. Span of
spring is very short in Pakistan
Yes, weather affects our mood and feel. Like if weather is pleasant everything seems to be lovely and
good. However, if weather is hot or bad every good thing seems bad.
Yes, people like Pakistan weather. Pakistan is one of those countries in the world that has all seasons.
Daily routine
Normally I wake up early in the morning and offer prayer. Then i do breakfast and get ready for
the office. I spend almost my whole day in office, doing work there. After coming home I go for a
walk in the park. Then iron my clothes for the next day. Then have my dinner and watch TV and
spend my time with my family.
Yes, it is very different from my childhood. When I was a kid I woke up late in the morning, I
used to go to school and came to home at lunchtime. Then did my homework and used to play
and watched TV all day. I went to bed early at night. I had so much free time in my childhood.
My working days are different from weekends. I wake up late on weekends and like to do heavy
breakfast like pori halwa and naan chany; I do cooking on and try different recipes. I love to cook
for my family and friends. l normally go for shopping and have a plan for a movie on weekends. I
also like to go out for lunch or dinner with my family or friends on weekends and try to spend
quality time with them.
I want to change my office timings; it should be short or more flexible. So that i can get some
more time for our families and ourselves.
Yes, daily routine is very important in our life’s and we should follow that routine. It maintains
discipline in our lives and I think without discipline life is nothing. Yes at times it seems boring to
follow the same routine but for that, we can take a break from our work for a change.
Seasons
Although all seasons are good and have its importance. However, I like winter and spring seasons the
most.
There are four season in Pakistan. Autumn, winter, spring, and summer. Summer has the longest season
in Pakistan. It starts in April and end in mid of October. Then comes autumn it start from end of October
and last in November. Then comes my favorite winter season that start in December and end in
February. After end of winter, season of colors spring start that remains for just one month. For me
spring season is King of all season but its duration in Pakistan is shortest.
Pakistan is one of those countries in the world that has all seasons. However, global warming has badly
effected seasons in Pakistan. Due to change in atmosphere, summer became longest season and span of
winter became shorter. Autumn and spring are also become shorter; they remain just for one month.
We use dry fruits in winter season, drinks lots of coffee, green tea.
People change clothes with change of weather. Women used to wear Lawn and cotton stuff in summer
season and men wear T-shorts. In winter both men and women use wooden clothes. They also wear
coats, jackets, mufflers and caps during winter season. During autumn and spring, normal cotton stuff is
used.
Skilled workers like doctors, engineers do not change their job with change in season. However, in
winter season labor class of northern areas move to normal temperature places for their livelihood.
In Pakistan, tourism is popular in spring season. Mostly people visit to Pakistan in this season and
Pakistani’s plan their trips for hilly areas in spring season. However, some people visit northern areas in
winter season to see snowfall but during winter roads are block due to bad weather.

Natural Places
As human beings, we are part of nature and instinctively very much connected with it. We all love beautiful
scenery, we call it wonderful and breathtaking and we don't know exactly why? Nature scenes have positive
effects on the mind and provide us feelings of relaxation and a peace of mind .It does also sort of a "thought
stopping" , where we are completely taken by the beauty of the scene and stop our negative thinking for a
while thinking only positivity of the natural features around us .
Beautiful natural places are peaceful and help us to reconnect with ourselves ... The enchantment of those
places give us the strength and the will to deal with your own life. It is like water or breeze we need them to
survive in this world!
Natural beauty is un-matched. Pakistan have world most beautiful places to visit, especially at its best in
northern areas of Pakistan and Kashmir region. This part of the country is famous all around the world
because of sky-high mountains, lush green valleys, mighty rivers, beautiful lakes, and amazing wildlife.
The Paradise on Earth ‘Neelum Valley’ Mini Switzerland ‘Swat Valley’ and Mountain Kingdom ‘Hunza
valley’ are the major tourist attractions in Pakistan. All these places are real natural beauty of the world.
There are also many best camping sites in Pakistan, where tourist can enjoy hiking and camping.
The naturally beautiful places of Pakistan, you will not found such beautiful places all over the world.
1. Neelum Valley
Neelam Valley is situated at the North & North-East of Muzaffarabad (The Capital of Azad Kashmir). It is
one of the most attractive places for tourists due to its famous lush greenery, springs, streams, lakes and
hilly and sloppy mountains.
Hunza Valley, Swat Valley, Kalash Valley, Kaghan Valley
The Kaghan Valley is a beautiful valley in the north-east of Mansehra District. It attracts many tourists
from not only Pakistan but also from the whole world. Laying in lower Himalayan mountains range, the
Kaghan valley, famous for its bewitching splendor and natural beauty. It is one of the most charming
tourist resorts in Hazara division. There are many beautiful and attractive spots like Shogran, Jared,
Naran, Lake Saiful Muluk, Lake Dudipat Sar, Lake Lulu Sar, Babusar Pass and much more to do.
The Kaghan Valley is at its best during summer. Naran is most famous spot for tourists in the Valley.
Thousands of people visit Naran daily.
Near the town Naran, there’s one of the highest lakes in Pakistan “Saiful Muluk”. It is a mountainous
lake in the Saiful Muluk National Park.
Murree Hills
This is a summer hill station. The summer resort and is situated in Murree, the subdivision of Rawalpindi
District. Murree was the summer capital of the British Raj in the Punjab Province. People from all over
the Pakistan wish to go there in summer to enjoy its natural beauty. Also, in winter season for
astonishing experience of snowfall.
Bhurban and New Murree (Patriata) are a main tourist center. One of the most favorite tourist point of
Murree is Galliat. It has fascinating greenery and scenic beauty that attracts tourist belonging different
regions of Asia. Most popular picnic points of Murree Hills are Dunga Gali , Muskpuri Hill , Nathia Gali,
Bara Gali and Mall Road.
There are so many natural attractions in my country, for example, the best one, in my
opinion, is the Huangshan Mountain, which earns a high reputation for its magnificent
natural scenery. Besides, I travel to the Inner Mongolian grasslands every year to see
the vast grassland as well as the blue sky and the white cloud which can be rarely seen
in Beijing.
Yes, just once, but really memorable. I went to the Lingshan Mountain with my friends
and my son early this year. We slept in the forest in the camps at night. It was totally
dark outside, but we sang the songs loudly with others and heard the sound of rain
dropping on my camp gently. It was really an interesting experience.
Cities in China usually have many parks in them so that children can visit with their
parents. Most of these parks have plenty of trees, meadow, rockery and even lakes,
which are good enough for children to get close to nature. Besides, on holidays,
children will have opportunities to go for an outing to some natural sceneries.
People can definitely benefit a lot from nature. Apart from the physical fitness, people
can loose up in the natural environment and inspire their love to life. As for children, I
believe getting close to nature can cultivate their natural motivations to investigation and
discovery the world around them based on their interests.
Historical Places
Pakistan is a country with a rich history, even though it is just 72 years old, but the land this
country owns, has a very a very profound history. Most of us have heard about Moenjodaro,
Thattha and Taxila, but there are many who have not been given any importance, yet they exist.
Here are some historical places in Pakistan we bet you didn’t know about!!
Lahore Fort and the Shalamar Gardens
Minar-e-Pakistan
Rohtas Fort
Badshahi Mosque
Tomb of Jahangir, Lahore
Hiran Minar, Sheikupura
The literal meaning of Minar-e-Pakistan is the ‘Tower of Pakistan’. It is situated right at the
heart of Lahore city and it took about 8 years to complete in the year 1968. The history of
this place is that the famous Lahore resolution in the year 1940 was passed at this location
by the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam. It has huge gardens all around it and has become
one of the finest historic tourist spots of Pakistan.
Why historical places are important
Innovation in architecture is with no doubt extremely important, but preserving and restoring the old
buildings is also important because those old monuments are the reflection of our history, they help us to
understand and respect people who lived in different eras with different habits and traditions. As well the
existence of old monuments will help us observe the changes in the societies for a better understanding
of the reasons that lead to the development of cities and societies and even traditions to the current
status. Old buildings are the face of cities they reflect the changes that happened in a city over time, they
reflect conflicts, wars, and the prosperity of the society, it even reflects the economic condition of the city
over time.

I have read Stephen R. Covey’s book 7 Habits of High Effective People. This book is known to be
one of the most inspiring and impactful books ever written. It has transformed the lives of
millions of people of all ages and occupations.
Inside, 7 Habits of High Effective People, Stephen argues that in order to change our results and
situations, we have to first change ourselves. And in order to change ourselves permanently, we
have to focus on building empowering habits.
Overall, this book is definitely a must read. Not because of its popularity or anything like that
but because it addresses the one thing that really matters. Habits. I truly believe that if we can
just change our habits, we can change our lives. The only problem with changing habits is that
it’s so common sense that no one takes it seriously.
That’s why I love this book because Covey breaks everything down into a step-by-step process.
Before even diving into the 7 habits, he explains the psychology of what we do and how our
paradigms affect our daily actions. He then proceeds to really nail the fact that we are not who
we think but instead just acting on who we think we are. This really sets the stage on why the 7
habits are so important.
Who I Recommend The Book To
This book is a classic and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve
themselves. Especially if you’re new to Personal Development, this book will be quite an easy
read. Unlike more advanced personal development books, which may dive deeply into the
neuroscience of our brain, this book focuses more on actionable concepts. My only advice is to
take each concept seriously so that you don’t fall into the trap of thinking its common sense.
Because it’s definitely not common practice for most of us.
The advice this book has provided have been helpful for me as I have addressed the turning
points in my life. The habits that Stephen Covey suggests are a framework that reminds me that
decisions and growth come from our core values. Our values, which we own, control and refine
our circle of influence. Our circle of influence, those areas that we can effect, can be expanded
by being proactive, having an end in mind, knowing what to put first, thinking win-win,
listening, finding synergy in the world around us and continually sharpening the saw. In other
words, through the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
1. “Be proactive” – We are responsible for our own lives.
2. “Begin with the end in mind” – Know what you want your life to really mean.
3. “Put first things first” – Exert the will to focus on what is important.
4. “Think win/win” – Seek mutual benefit.
5. “Seek first to understand, then to be understood” – Three words, listen and hear.
6. “Synergize” – Combine ideas and create new alternatives.
7. “Sharpen the saw” – Preserve, enhance and renew yourself.
Reading is important because it develops our thoughts, gives us endless knowledge and lessons to read
while keeping our minds active.
The more we read, the more we understand the world around us. And when we read books, the more
we discover life beyond what we already know. Here are more reasons that highlight the importance of
reading books.
Books Educate Us
Books quench our thirst for knowledge. Through books, we learn about how things work, understand
different cultures, and comprehend the history of things. We can learn new languages, how to improve
ourselves and even how to build things. The right books are full of useful information that helps us
become smarter, sharper, more skilled and more open to new ideas.

A movie review
James Cameron’s Titanic is one of the most successful movies of all time, and I have no
problem saying that it’s also one of the most beloved movies ever made.
A true love story from my favourite cast, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate winslet.
It is one of the epic movie ever released of all time. No movie can ever match the calibre of this
movie. I would call it the masterpiece of human film industry.
This movie has all content ; drama, action, romance and it makes the viewer fall in love with
each and every scene. It's emotionally so powerful that it breaks the viewer into tears.
Where one must appreciate the direction, production unit and cast must not forget Celine Dion
for breathing life into the movie with 'My Heart Will Go On' soundtrack.
Considering the years it was produced in will make you realize that how much effort was put
into it by everyone.
Eid is the religious occasion for Muslims. Muslims having fast in the month of Ramzan and then comes
Eid. Muslims celebrate ‘Eid with full enthusiasm. We wear new clothes, meet our family and friends and
really enjoy this occasion.
I live in Lahore. Lahore is an urban city. It is the capital of the most populous province Punjab.
It’s the country’s cultural capital, and it’s where Pakistan’s Islamic identity was born. Lahore’s
residents—dubbed as ‘the people whose hearts are alive’—

Please tell us how often you watch films and why you enjoy them.
I watch movies once in a month. I do not have free time but whenever i get some tim e i like to watch
movies and really enjoy them because it a best way of relaxing myself after a whole day’s work
it always kind of attraction for me and ends up wasting my time with it.”
it relaxes me. and also because I am doing something different from my work.
I regard it as my best way of relaxing myself after a whole day’s work it always kind of
attraction for me and ends up wasting my time with it.”
How often do you watch films? “Well, actually, I watch movies at home every day, 1 episode per day at
least. I often choose a good series to follow, you know, sometime a romantic one, some are the latest or
simply just something recommended by my friends. And if there is an interesting movie playing at the
cinema, I‟ll go to see it with my friends sometimes, you know but just sometimes coz I don‟t have that
much money if you know what I mean, the cinema tickets are very pricy to me.”
Do you like watch films alone or with your friends? “To be honest, I‟d rather watch films with my
friends, you know, coz we can talk about it during or after the movie, whether we enjoyed it or not,
whether it‟s mind-numbing or interesting and we always end up having such a good time together. Of
course, still, there‟s some time when I‟m not in the mood, I don‟t wanna torture anyone but myself, if
you know what I mean.”
Do you prefer watching films at the cinema or at home? “Well, I think I would have to say it totally
depends. You know, If it a big action film with lots of explosions, I would see it at the cinema you know,
because, there, you get to see the movie on a big screen with a better sound system which will make the
movie more impressive, you know. But others, I prefer watching at home because you can watch at your
leisure and it‟s so convenient to pause or go back a few scenes if you find it attention grabbing which
you do not have any control whatsoever in the cinema. Plus, there‟s nothing better than kicking back on
your comfy old couch in front of the box.”

I am writing this email in response to the new library fee policy. I feel disappointment after the
announcement of new library fee policy. I have been a member of the library for about three
years and my experience has been extraordinary. I am a student and use library frequently. It is
not affordable for me to pay fee on every borrowed book.
I can understand your budget constraints; I am sure this revised policy will help in better library
management and more choice for the members. However, I am afraid that this may result in
decreased membership. You can charge fee from salaried members or fix a lower fee for
students that is feasible for students as well. I am hoping a positive response from your side.
Thank You!
Yours Sincerely,
Ruby
